DESIGNING METAVERSE AT UNITY FOR MOBILE
I joined Unity (Solutions) in January 2023 and unfortunately left the company due to a reduction in force that affected approximately 8% (around 600) of the employees in May 2023.
During my time at Unity, I had the opportunity to work on both client projects and internal Metaverse tools. I collaborated closely with engineers to ensure seamless design-to-Unity implementation.
My main focus was on designing and prototyping mobile components for the internal Metaverse platform, with an emphasis on enhancing repeatability and creating innovative interaction designs for future client projects.

MOTION DESIGN
CREATED STARTUP ANIMATION FOR RAZER PERIPHERALS
I created the startup Chroma animation for Razer Peripherals, adding a double ripple effect to all Razer keyboards released from 2023 onwards. This animation is triggered when the keyboard is switched on, plugged in, or during computer startup.
Additionally, I designed a custom Pikachu startup Chroma animation exclusively for the Razer Pokemon Limited Edition Gaming Soundbar, enhancing its appeal to Pokemon enthusiasts.

REFINING INTERHAPTICS
DESIGN SYSTEM
Razer acquired Interhaptics in 2022, when the team was primarily focused on engineering. I assisted them in refining their design and improving usability. As part of this effort, I also developed a basic design system using Adobe XD.

CREATING EMOJI AND ANIMATION EDITOR FOR STREAMER COMPANION APP
A Windows application that creates captivating light shows during live streams, reacting to new subs, followers, donations, and chat keywords using emojis and unique lighting effects.
I’ve created a suite of emojis for Streamers to use right out of the box for the Razer Emote lineup products. I also designed the frame-by-frame emoji animation editor component for streamers to create unique animated emojis.

UI DESIGN & ILLUSTRATION
DESIGN, REFINE & MAINTAINING CHROMA STUDIO
RAZER SYNAPSE MODULE
Think Photoshop for creating your own custom RGB lighting effect that's unique and harmoniously lit across all your Chroma-enabled devices.
I was responsible for designing the components and defining the canvas and product assets logic. The software remains the most robust editor for customizing complex RGB lighting effects.

UI DESIGN
STARTED RAZER SOFTWARE DESIGN SYSTEM
I started a component library & iconography using Adobe XD for the UX team who worked on Razer Synapse, Chroma RGB, Streamer Companion App, THX Spatial Audio, and 7.1 Surround Sound. No dedicated design systems team at the time I was at Razer.

KEYBOARDS
DROP + GLIMY
DSA 2077 KEYCAP SET
Took part in a contest by Drop.com in 2017, got voted as the winning piece by the community, and ultimately saw the product come to life. Manufactured by Signature Plastics from Doubleshot ABS material, the Drop + Glimy DSA 2077 Custom Keycap Set showcases the same sci-fi-inspired designs, bright colors, and DSA profile as the original. But, of course, there's a question everyone will ask, aannnnndd no, the year was not inspired by Cyberpunk 2077.
IDEATION
THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE OF AUGMENTED REALITY
When faced with an idea too grand for a single individual to bring to life, putting it out through a combination of words and visuals.
2016
MOTION DESIGN COMPILATION
Since the death of Flash websites and ad banners early in my career, there's been a decline in animation used on projects. An emptiness I'm looking to fill. Now, I would jump into every opportunity to do any motion design that make sense.
